Starting way back in October 2025, a group of Buddhist monks set out on a long journey by foot. Traveling from Texas, all the way up to Washington D.C. On February 5, they were nearing their destination set to arrive in Prince William, V.A. That placed them firmly within thirty miles of their destination.They have already walked over two thousand miles, and have only a little left to go!

Those who went to watch the walk were encouraged to stay on sidelines and NOT to walk with them, as it is mildly disrespectful. If you were lucky, like some souls that met the monks a few nights ago, they may even offer a blessing, but don’t count on it.

As you see them walk, please consider the message they stand for. Peace and unity. When you come to a disagreement with someone, consider the message and try to understand and really see the other side, if anything you take away from this walk you use, make it that. 

Take the message of peace they stand for with you.
